Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida has been hit pretty hard with flooding:

What you may not have realized about the flooding is that it’s actually Ron DeSantis’ fault. Don’t take our word for it, though; take Occupy Democrats Executive Editor Grant Stern’s. Stern seems to be under the impression that DeSantis has abandoned his post as transportation secretary:
Imagine how PISSED OFF Republicans would be at Ron DeSantis right now…
If his name was PETE BUTTIGIEG. https://t.co/v3BJgtDkgm

We’d advise against proceeding with Grant’s thought exercise, because you’re liable to pull a muscle attempting the series of reaches that it requires.
Wait are you saying DeSantis controls the weather AND the Airport?
— Matt-stradamus (@JustTheTipMatt) April 13, 2023
That kinda seems to be what Grant is suggesting, yeah.

Oh.
Shame on that deep red county called *checks notes* Broward?

Grant Stern gets a lot of retweets by blaming Republicans for things that Democrats did. https://t.co/K1FKI0Eyqz pic.twitter.com/cO90kk5zwX

And anyway, isn’t airport-y stuff ultimately supposedly overseen by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation? The U.S. Secretary of Transportation who is not, last time we checked, named Ron DeSantis?
DeSantis made Florida flat, controls the weather AND runs the infrastructure for the airport? Big if true.
Pete has a job that has a very specific set of responsibilities. If he fails at these specific jobs, he’s rightly called out.

Now, to be fair, Ron DeSantis would make a way better transportation secretary than Pete Buttigieg. But Pete’s the guy we’re stuck with.
Buttigeig is so bad at his job that Americans actually know the name of the Secretary of Transportation
